What to Expect When Getting Started
Beginning counseling is an important step, and it’s natural to have questions about what the process looks like. At Grace and Space Counseling Services, we begin with a structured process designed to help us get to know one another and ensure that counseling is the right fit for your needs.
Initial Consultation
The first step is a consultation, which gives you the opportunity to learn more about my approach to counseling and ask any questions you may have about the process. This conversation also allows us to briefly discuss what brings you to counseling and determine whether Grace and Space Counseling Services is the right fit for you.
Assessment Sessions
The next step is an assessment session. During this session, we explore your concerns more deeply and gather important background information that helps us understand your current experiences and needs. This session allows us to:
-
Identify your presenting concerns
-
Discuss relevant personal, family, or emotional history
-
Establish initial goals for counseling
-
Determine the best approach to support your growth and well-being
For children and adolescents, this session may include both the parent and child, so that important perspectives can be shared and a supportive plan can be developed together.
Ongoing Counseling
Following the assessment, counseling sessions focus on working toward the goals we have established together. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, providing tools, support, and space to process experiences and develop healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges.
Most counseling sessions last 50–60 minutes and may occur weekly or biweekly, depending on individual needs.
